What you need to do is contact your local county board of elections office about getting an Absentee Ballot. You can find that office on this website: http://www.elections.state.ny.us/CountyBoards.html

Unfortunately, no. There is no online voting in the United States. The only way to vote from out-of-state is to request an absentee ballot. The deadline to request an absentee ballot has passed. Sorry to not have better news.

Ideally, you would vote at the polling place associated with the address you used to register to vote.

If you need to look it up, just use the FIND YOUR POLLING PLACE tool on the right-hand side of this page.

You could also go to your nearest polling location. If you are not on the rolls, you will be allowed to a provisional ballot.

After the election, the elections officials will determine whether you are a registered and eligible voter and if they will count your vote. Not ideal but better than not voting.

Remember to update your information before the next election.

We're glad you like it, Rialnat.

A quick way to do this is to post it to your Facebook account.

Good voting!

Yes. Even if you are already registered at home, we encourage you to register at school.

You are much more likely to vote. And local election officials cannot treat students differently than they treat any other citizen when it comes to voting. (That’s in the U.S. Constitution, baby!) You cannot vote in two places -- like at your parent’s house and at school -- but if you consider your dorm or address at school your residence, you should register to vote there.

Absolutely. Go here for details on getting and submitting an absentee ballot:

Advanced planning is encouraged because in some states the deadline for applying for an absentee ballot is a few weeks prior to Election Day. As long as the absentee ballot itself is postmarked by Election Day it legally has to be counted.

Yes. Each part of the state has its own unique candidates and measures on the ballot.

When you vote at your assigned polling place you will have the opportunity to vote on the candidates and issues that most directly affect you and your neighbors. When you send in your new voter registration form indicate that you are changing your address. You will get a voter registration card in the mail within a month that will tell you where your precinct’s polling place is located. You do not have to “unregister” your previous registration.

You have the legal right to register and vote at any address that you will have been living in for a state-specific amount of time prior to the election. In every state, if you moved into on-or off-campus housing at the start of the fall semester, you will have been living there for long enough to vote.

A person may register to vote using any address he or she considers to be his or her legal residence. Residence requires both domicile and a place of abode. A P.O. Box is sufficient as a mailing address, but insufficient to establish residency. College students should list the street address of their dorm and specify the room, floor, or apartment they occupy.
